Didn't really do much strenuous work today, but I'm so tired I can't keep my mind from shutting down tonight. I am half way through recreating a vintage apron with a vintage table cloth and thrifted fabric. It is done in lavenders, greens and white bias tape. I'll post a photo later, but it is really in early stages right now.
I'm so out of practice with aprons. I got it a wee bit crooked! YIKES...but it is still really pretty and really, who has totally straight hips? NOT me. Now I just need to find someone with a slightly shorter right leg! LOL
Love and blessings tonight..........................oh, and thanks to everyone for commenting on the entry below............I'm going to have so much fun shopping for someone! Glad to see ya here Lisa!!
Love you all,
G

Living in Season....August 2008
I've heard of eating in season, going green, etc. But this year we are living in season. It started this spring because our central air conditioning unit is dying a slow death. It is original to this house built in 1984. We have lived her for 7 years and have had to have it repaired every year that we have lived here. It'll cost about eight to ten thousand to replace it, but it has cost us thousands to repair it over the years. So this year we just let it go. We have not turned it on and we live in Virginia...part of the South. It isn't the deep South, but it is hot and humid none the less. Well, we are super heat loving people so we purchased a few window A/C units...they are so different from the ones my folks had...popped them in the bedrooms, my basement studio and the family room. We turn them on as needed. Well so far this season, we have used them, but we don't always turn them on. We have been comfortable...sweated alot more than in years past, but we have also found that the body does adapt. The heat isn't bothering me as bad as in years past. I get up to the sound of the crickets and the morning doves and I can hear the rustle of the deer in the woods....ah it is a lovely sound. I actually feel more in touch with the earth and the sky and the wind. I also feel a bit of a modern pioneer in a sense. All of my neighbors are shut up, sealed up and one can hear the electric whirr and gear changing of their A/C compressors. I'm not braggin, just relating that it really is nice to be changing, to living in season. Oh, and an unexpected benefit? My husband opened the power bill yesterday and announced that we used half of the energy than we used during the same time last year! Now that is a good green feeling!!!
A Wedding Gown I did for a dear friend.
She looked like a fairy princess! That is the look we were going for.
How many friends have stopped by my house?

bet your apron turns out really pretty !!!!!!!!! I have so missed seeing all the wonderful things you create
Georgann, about your clogs: I just recently got this sudden wave of "clog-itis". I used to wear them all the time when I lived in MN (70's) and decided I wanted a pair for my BDay. Well, I got 2 pr on Ebay from a MN seller. I just received the first pr in the mail and I'm thrilled thrilled thrilled!! Oh, and I like 'em too. LOL
They sure have gone up in price though. I wanted the original ones made in Bastad Sweden, like I used to wear and they run around $100 now. The Ebay seller has them for half that or less (overstock) so I splurged on myself. Yeah, you either love'em or hate 'em. I'm a lover not a hater. ;) Bonne
Oh, yes, I love mine too. I had my first pair when I was in highschool. My Danish boyfriend went home to visit his father in Copenhagen and brought back a pair of denim blue clogs for me...I loved them and wore them all of the time and then my sister stole them from me when she went to the Army. I was furious because she denied it until just a couple of years ago. I can look back now and laugh, about it, but that started my love of clogs. And those little orange lovelies have rekindled my love affair with clogs. I got this pair at The Thrifty Quaker in almost new condition for $1.25. Someone just didn't know what they had...they retail for over $100 new!!! Needless to say, I was totally thrilled and they cured alot of my leg and back problems. When I don't wear them...I'm in terrible pain, so they are my lifesavers!
